Double doors access the large lounge with deep bay window and attractive fireplace. There is also a separate formal dining room or home office boasting a wonderful fireplace, large window to front aspect and access to a further hallway with second staircase along with separate front door, and so this area could be used as an annexe arrangement with separate access if required. This hallway also provides space between this property and the adjoining wing as is halls adjoining keeping space from the neighbour as all internal living rooms adjoin the stairs/landing/hallway area. The kitchen is a particular feature of this property with a large central island, bespoke cabinetry and complimenting kitchen units and worktops with intetgrated appliances to include drinks chiller and freestanding range cooker. The hallway enjoys an open plan flow through to the kitchen with floor to ceiling windows having bespoke shutters, whilst also off the hallway is a grand staircase leading to a large and inviting landing area with a magnificent galleried balustrading. The landing is large enough to allow for a work space or sitting area if required or could provide a great reading area. Off the kitchen is a separate utility room with access to a double garage with electric doors. To the first floor is a most imposing and grand master suite with enourmous bedroom having a spectacular vaulted ceiling, creating a real wow to this incredible room, there is a separate dressing room fitted with bespoke furniture and beautiful, spacious en-suite shower room.
